At a general assembly in the performing arts center at Gothenburg High School on the first day of school Thursday, junior and senior high students and teachers will stand with a hand over their hearts.

They will then recite “The Pledge of Allegiance.”

Absent from many Nebraska schools for years, the pledge is making a comeback because of a new state rule.

The rule, passed by the Nebraska Board of Education Friday, requires state schools to set aside time for students to take the pledge although participation is voluntary.
